Most of the times I have seen that it has been cookies that have been detected and can't be got rid off. Cookies are not really security threats, though some can be a bit of a privacy annoyance. Just keep doing regular scans and you should be ok, or try running another anti-spyware program if you are really concerned. I have found it is useful to use two anyway as each pick up things the other misses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
